This year we planned on staying home for Christmas Day so we invited George's parents over for dinner beforehand for some quality time and to watch Ava open her presents. George and I slow cooked some ribs during the day according to the recipe we got from Randy Kalman and they turned out to be the best ribs we have ever made or ate before. Three hours in the oven, three hours on the grill and one hour in the crock pot. WOW! they were delicious. George's Mom ended up staying home, but we still had his Dad over and enjoyed his company and his conversation. Ava loved opening up her presents and couldn't decide what to play with first. She also enjoyed seeing her Grandpa and sitting on his lap. A good night for all of us!
